GAME-TYPES
Here are the rules for some of the games we commonly play
Carpe!
Seize the Balls!
Goal: Retrieve balls from center bucket, steal them from your opponent's bucket, or pick balls up from the field, and bring them back to your bucket. Whoever has the most balls in their bucket at the end of the round wins.
Rules: Each team starts with an empty bucket at their base. At the start of the game, there will be balls in a bucket in the middle of the field. Every time you are hit, you must return to your Spawn Point before clearing in. If you are hit while carrying a ball, you must drop it where you were hit.
You may only carry one ball at a time. After the time limit is reached, the game ends and whoever has the most balls in their bucket wins.
King of the Hill
Goal: Several control points are spread across the field, each has a timer with various team colors. Teams fight for control points by starting their color timer and stopping the opposing team’s.
Rules: At the end of a round, times are added up, and whichever team has accumulated the most time wins. When hit, a player must return to their team’s designated respawn point.
Team Freeze Tag
Goal: To freeze every member of the opposing team.
Rules: If you are hit by an opponent, you must stop all movement (no reloading, relocating, et al.) until unfrozen by a team member. You are not required to strike a comical pose while frozen, but it is encouraged.
You can unfreeze teammates by either tagging them, or shooting them. When everybody on one team is frozen, the game ends. You can not run around constantly tapping another player to stay 'invincible'. If you are staying in constant physical contact with another player and you are hit, they are hit also (aka the conga-line rule)
